Nashville MB | The Writer’s Round

We’re back for season Five~!

Come enjoy the monthly Nashville MB series as the cozy taproom at Kilter Brewing Co. transforms into a Nashville-style Writers Round. Each month features intimate performances by four of Manitoba’s finest songwriters who will share their songs in turn. One performs a song, followed by the next writer, and the next, and so on. Each songwriter might join in with the others, add harmonies, contribute a guitar riff, or just listen. Writers talk about how and why they wrote the songs, and there are always lively stories and interaction between the writers.

 

Thursday, March 5, 2026 at 7:30pm

Join us on the first Thursday of the month for another Writer’s Round featuring a new lineup of songwriters. Join our host KWIAT with Rein, Lotai, and YBK Shakur for another night of endearing stories, hearty laughs, and killer tunes.

KWIAT (Host)

KWIAT is a Winnipeg-based Métis Polish avant-pop artist celebrated for her bold, genre-defying sound. Drawing inspiration from Fiona Apple and Hayley Williams, her debut music—co-produced with Hawksley Workman and mixed by George Seara—has received critical acclaim. Her debut single, "Follow The Call," reached the top 10 on SiriusXM's The Indigiverse. She has been recognized on the Women in Music Canada Honour Roll (2023) and featured in Billboard Canada’s Inaugural Women in Music Industry Spotlight (2024). KWIAT has captivated sold-out audiences opening for Jim Cuddy, Sam Polley, and performing at major events like TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival, Festival du Voyageur, and Pride Winnipeg.

Rein

Alternative/indie pop singer-songwriter Rein invites listeners into his journal with captivating jazz-infused rhythms and melodies. His breakout track “Piggy Bank” caught the attention of fans worldwide—including grentperez—and led him to perform on stages such as The Emmet Ray in Toronto. With every song, Rein continues to craft heartfelt stories that linger long after the last note.

Lotai

Lotai represents a multiplicity of musical selves and influences, allowing singer-songwriter and instrumentalist Arielle Beaupre to flow freeform between styles and languages to deliver a unique and captivating blend of energy and raw emotional expression.

YBK Shakur

YBK Shakur makes Hood Parables — a fusion of street reality, spiritual insight, and lived wisdom. It’s the voice of someone who survived the game, elevated from it, and now speaks truth through the trenches.
